- Chess players are developing, but it's really impossible to keep up with the technique. The computer calculates one hundred million options per second. And what can a person do? Of course, he is able to develop options through experience, theoretical basis. But the machine will still kill it. The maximum that people can expect today is to play a draw from time to time. We do not speak of victory, of course

I'm talking about a strong computer. This is worth a lot of money: over a million rubles apiece (about $20000). For example, thanks to the Russian Chess Federation, all members of the national team were given a very powerful machine. Not everything is like this. And against your own smartphone, there are still winning chances.

Do not make tragedy out of the existing balance of forces. The car also goes much faster than a person runs. Chess competitions will remain forever. It is much more interesting when two chessplayers play than two computers. Although their level is higher.
